Abstract

This article explores gender-based verbal aggressiveness on the Instagram account @gitasav through the lens of Ibn Miskawayh’s ethical framework. It addresses two central questions: What is the nature of verbal aggressiveness on Gita Savitri’s Instagram account, and how can this gender-laden verbal aggressiveness be examined through Ibn Miskawayh’s Islamic ethical perspective? The study adopts a qualitative approach, employing netnography as a method to gather data by downloading and preserving posts and digital traces. Netnography allows the researcher to observe social phenomena within the digital realm. The findings indicate that Ibn Miskawayh’s ethics strongly discourage gender-based verbal aggression. While Ibn Miskawayh does not explicitly discuss aggression in his ethical discourse, his concepts of goodness, happiness, and virtue offer a framework for ethical conduct. This article posits that individuals should strive to maintain a balanced and flexible demeanor across various contexts, as moral virtue is often found in the middle ground between two extremes.

Abstract

Religious harmony in Indonesia has become an important issue amid ongoing social dynamics. Based on Jorge Gracia’s hermeneutic approach, this study examines the phenomenon of Kristen Muhammadiyah (Krismuha)—harmonious interactions between Christian and Muhammadiyah communities in Muhammadiyah educational environments in non-Muslim-majority areas. The method used is descriptive-qualitative with text analysis techniques applied to the work Kristen Muhammadiyah by Abdul Mu’ti and Fajar Riza Ul Haq. The study results indicate that interactions between Muhammadiyah and the Christian community in the field of education occur without theological coercion but are based on sociological relationships that uphold openness, comfort, and respect for each other’s identities. These findings affirm that the inclusive pluralism model promoted by Muhammadiyah is capable of building interfaith trust through education. Gracia’s hermeneutic approach demonstrates a balance between the interpretation of normative Islamic texts and the pluralistic social context faced by Muhammadiyah. The Krismuha phenomenon contributes to interfaith diplomacy at the grassroots level, strengthening social cohesion and enriching Indonesia’s living laboratory of pluralism. This study recommends the development of similar models to expand the scope of interfaith harmony in Indonesia.

Abstract

Studies on women in Islam continue to evolve despite having long been a focus of academic attention. In hadith studies, there remains a tendency toward interpretations that demean women, contradicting the original spirit of Islam, which upholds the dignity and equality of the sexes. This article examines the narratives of Muslim women in the book Sister Fillah, You’ll Never Be Alone by Kalis Mardiasih using Erich Fromm’s psycho-humanistic theory. The focus of the study includes the identity, role, and status of women in the modern socio-religious context, including resistance to gender-biased religious interpretations. The method used is qualitative text analysis with Fromm’s theoretical approach to explore women’s existential needs in the form of autonomy, freedom, belonging, and understanding of their normative rights. The results of the study show that through education and self-awareness, women can rediscover their humanity, which has been obscured by the patriarchal system. This book emphasizes the importance of valuing women’s bodies, the right to education, and recognition of women’s existence as whole human beings. With this approach, this article contributes to strengthening the discourse on gender justice in Islam through a reflective and contextual humanistic lens.

Abstract

The phenomenon of stereotypes against women who wear the niqab is still prevalent among students, particularly at UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya (UINSA). The niqab, which is generally associated with a religious symbol, is often misunderstood and linked to negative images, especially those related to radical groups and terrorism. This study aims to reveal how stereotypes toward women wearing the niqab are formed among UINSA students and to analyze the differences in the actual meaning of the niqab symbol. Using symbolic interactionism theory, this study examines the differences between the campus community’s perceptions of the niqab and the personal reasons held by women who wear it. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with in-depth interviews and observations of students who are the research subjects and women who wear the niqab as the research subjects. The study results indicate that the stereotypes developed among UINSA students are more influenced by a lack of understanding of the meaning behind wearing the niqab, which often differs from the general perceptions that have developed in the campus community. This study is expected to contribute to correcting misunderstandings and strengthening a more inclusive understanding of religious symbols in the social context of Indonesia.

Abstract

As a country with six officially recognized religions, Indonesia faces significant challenges in fostering interfaith harmony amidst its diversity. One factor influencing this dynamic is the role of social media, which can be used to promote religious tolerance and create spaces for interfaith dialogue. As a popular social media platform, YouTube has become an important medium for presenting interfaith dialogue content that encourages diversity awareness. One YouTube channel offering such content is Daniel Mananta’s channel, with his program “Daniel Tetangga Kamu” (Daniel, Your Neighbour), which features interfaith dialogue. This study aims to analyze how religion and interfaith dialogue are represented in the program, using Stuart Hall’s theory of representation. This study examines five video podcasts containing interfaith dialogue with guests from various religious backgrounds, selected based on the highest number of viewers during the 2021-2022 period. The results indicate that Daniel Mananta presents four typologies in depicting religion: inclusivism, pluralism, eclecticism, and universalism, reflecting a tolerant attitude toward religious differences within Indonesian society.

Abstract

The phenomenon of sexual violence in Indonesia requires special attention, given its nearly uniform prevalence across all provinces. This study aims to analyze the experiences of sexual violence survivors within the Save Your Mental (SYM) community using Gayatri Spivak’s feminist approach. The method employed is qualitative-descriptive, with data collected through interviews and observations of the community founder, Romayana Sari, and two community members. Data were analyzed using Spivak’s subaltern theory to understand the dynamics of marginalization, discrimination, and social construction experienced by survivors. The results of the study indicate that sexual violence, mental health disorders, and bullying are the main issues faced by SYM members. These findings show how the community supports the trauma recovery process and rebuilding survivors’ self-confidence. This study also recommends further exploring other members’ experiences and using alternative theories to enrich the analysis and provide contextually relevant solutions for victims. Thus, this research contributes to efforts to strengthen understanding of sexual violence experiences and the importance of empowering survivors through a humanistic and critical approach.

Abstract

Happiness is a universal goal that humans have pursued throughout history. This study compares the concepts of happiness according to Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī in Kīmiyā’ al-Sa‘ādah and the concept of Ikigai in Japanese tradition. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study examines the similarities and differences between the two concepts based on text analysis and literature review. Al-Ghazālī emphasizes that true happiness is achieved through the purification of the soul, self-knowledge, and closeness to God. In contrast, Ikigai emphasizes the achievement of balance between personal satisfaction, social contribution, and life purpose. The results of this study indicate that both concepts are based on the importance of self-knowledge, building social relationships, and finding meaning in life as a path to happiness. The fundamental difference lies in their orientation: al-Ghazālī emphasizes the transcendental aspect of Allah, while Ikigai is more pragmatic in optimizing one’s potential in the world. This study underscores the importance of a holistic approach to happiness, which integrates spiritual values and everyday human life and opens the door to cross-cultural dialogue in understanding human well-being more comprehensively.
